Where to Stream ‘This Is Us,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ & Other Shows Given the Post-Super Bowl Time Slot
Even if you’re not a football fan, Super Bowl on Sunday, February 7, has plenty for you to enjoy, from its commercials to the highly anticipated (or just much-hyped) TV show that airs right after the big game, whether a new episode or a series premiere.
This year, the prime CBS slot goes to the premiere of The Equalizer starring Queen Latifah, which then moves to its regular Sunday night time slot of 8/7c the following week. If you can’t catch its first episode on the 7th — its 10/9c time period is approximate, and depends on when the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers finish playing — don’t worry, it streams on CBS All Access the next day.
Over the years, the other shows given the coveted post-Super Bowl slot have included new episodes of Grey’s Anatomy and The Blacklist, and the premiere of shows including Family Guy. And now, some of these high-profile episodes are available to stream. To find out which ones are and where, check out our guide below.
